Wow! I'm not a fan of Apple by any stretch of the imagination, but what an amazing job integrating all of the components and sub-systems in a light, compact form-factor. Truly impressive engineering. But, I like to give credit where credit is due and am really impressed by all the Chinese workers putting in 18-hour days cranking these things out by the millions. Their effort and attention to detail is outstanding.
